Frozen shrimp tips
Frozen shrimp is often fresher than fresh shrimp at the counter — it is flash-frozen on the boat right after catching. Defrost under cold running water for 5 minutes, pat dry with paper towels and cook immediately. Always buy peeled and deveined to save prep time. A bag of frozen shrimp in the freezer is your fastest path to a healthy dinner.
